TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS
SUBMERGED OUTBOARD
MOTOR
A submerged outboard motor must be
serviced immediately after it is
recovered from the water in order to
minimize corrosion.
If there is a Honda Marine dealership
nearby
, take the outboard motor to the
dealer immediately. If you are far
from a dealer, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the engine cover, and rinse
the outboard
motor with fresh
water to remove salt water, sand,
mud, etc.
2. Drain the carburetor as described
on
p. 54.
3. Change the engine oil as described
on
p. 42 – 44. If there was water
in the engine crankcase, or if the
used
engine oil showed signs of
water contamination, then a second
engine oil change should be
performed after running the engine
for
half an hour.
4. Remove the spark plug (p. 47),
and remove the emergency stop
switch clip
from the emergency
stop switch. Pull the starter grip,
rotate the flywheel a few
revolutions to completely expel
any water from the cylinder.
If the engine was running when it
su
bmerged, there may be
mechanical damage, such as a bent
co
nnecting rod. If the engine binds
when cranked, do not attempt to
run the engine until it has been
repaired.
